Clinton County is a small, rural community of around 40,000 residents, with the shelter conveniently located in downtown Lock Haven. It’s within walking distance of the bus station, Commonwealth University – Lock Haven, and several local stores. While we don’t have public transportation, taxis are available.

Affordable housing options, such as public housing, are available but may have wait times ranging from six months to a year. Private apartments in the area typically rent for around $700 and up. The local school district is comparable, and Commonwealth University – Lock Haven offers educational opportunities for those wishing to continue their studies.

Our community also has an emergency outpatient department, a fair job market, and school bus services for children, including transportation to and from school during your stay at the shelter.

At Roads to Peace, we’re here for you, with the resources and support you need to move forward. You’re not alone.
